  • Enjoyable

    I did enjoy this podcast I listened to the Mary Queen Of Scot series the story’s are very good and told in a very non boring way ( other history podcasts are extremely boring) But I did find it very biased. I know it’s a feminist podcast. But I feel there is more emphasis on hating men than just telling the story. Personally I prefer to just hear the facts and make up my own mind.

  • Basically, like…no.

    I wanted to like this podcast, but the amateur presentation makes it hard to listen. The constant use of ‘like’ and ‘basically’ in nearly every sentence is incredibly distracting. The host is clearly passionate about history, but the delivery doesn’t work for anyone over the age of 12.

  • My comfort podcast

    I’ve been listening to the podcast for about a year now and it quickly became my favourite. I started listening with little history knowledge and every episode is fascinating. The Mary Queen of Scot’s series had me on the edge of my seat, Ann makes history so entertaining.

  • One of the best podcasts

    I learn about history of women that most of the time no one talks about. I like that Ann provides so much background and sets the stage before diving into the topic of the podcast. Please continue the good work!!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
